Blender that is good with ice?

Love my Ninja

I have a Vitamix. I bought it just over a year ago. I make green smoothies w/ it 3-4 times a week. I put ice, a frozen banana, and frozen berries in it usually, along w/ the other fun stuff - kale, cucumber, half an orange, almond butter, etc.

It is capable of making soup to ice cream, it is really a neat machine. Of course I rarely take the time to make the soup or ice cream, but I have tried to make both, and it came out great. I would recommend buying it at Costco also, great return policy and the Vitamix itself has a 7 year warranty.

I have ruined way too many blenders making smoothies with ice.

The Ninja is really good.

I am going to try this!

Dh has started making protein smoothies in the morning and killed my blender! Any blenders that don't mind chopping ice?

Thanks!

Okay, this is the budget board! I bought an Oster model #MG-RMB (on bottom) at Costco a couple of months ago. It was under $30.00 and it comes in different colors! I make smoothies every day using ice cubes. No problem.

I have a kitchenaid blender that is awesome with ice. I make smoothies in it a few times a week. I received it as a wedding gift, 15 years ago! It still looks and works like a brand new one.

I had an oster for years and then it died. I bought a kitchen aid and it lasted about a year and then the hard rubber part at the bottom broke after about a year and a half . Got a beautiful jennair blender that crushes ice and does everything plus looks like a work of art but to clean it you need to take it apart. I was in bed bath and beyond and they had a vitamin display model in clearance for $100. Even though I was quite happy with my Jennair I could not resist a bargain. I had a 20% off coupon so I paid $80 for it. I have had it for over a year now and use it daily for smoothies and clean up is a breeze. Once you have a Vitamix it is the only blender you will ever want to use. It's what the Jamba Juice bars and professional chefs use.

I also love my Ninja, I use it everyday make smoothies. It's good time to buy at Kohls with 30% card holders HARVEST30, 20% non card holders SPIDERWEB coupon, plus Kohls cash.
